The 150ft Landing Craft, “M/V Unalaq,” is one of our principle marine vessels. It has a shallow draft of 4’ to 5’ 8” (depending on load) and is supplied with all the necessary equipment for loading and off-loading cargo. On the Unalaq, we have accommodations for up to ten guests in five staterooms and a commercial kitchen and dining room. We also carry a variety of equipment suited to our unique client needs including a 19’ Rigid Hull inflatable with 90 HP outboard motor, Hitachi 110 Excavator, Masted Volvo 220 Loader (capable of carrying 40,000 lbs.), fork extensions for the Volvo Loader, and 20 DuraMatts for building roadway on beaches or other soft terrain.
